I mean, most companies do provide severance when they do massive layoffs. Usually because its required by law in that particular state, sometimes as a way to reduce wrongful termination suits, and( rarely )because it’s the right thing to do.
But severance is actually fairly common–especially when you hear about the googles, facebooks, amazons of the world doing them.
I’m pretty sure those googlers that got let go got 6 months salary + benefits.
That’s a pretty weak source. It reeks of bias and it also seemed to target fast food and gig economy workers. Not exactly who we are discussing in this thread.
Salaried people from large organizations typically, most of the time, get severance during mass layoffs.
It surveyed over a thousand people and had a margin of error of like 2-3%. Data isn’t really a weak source and it’s better than no source. Do you have anything to support your claim that most workers get severance pay besides you saying so?
A thousand? My anecdotal evidence covered more than that by just reading a news article about one tech company. I am more than willing to admit there is a huge divide between hourly and salaried employees on this subject. But given that the current news these days is about tech layoffs of salaried people, I took the cartoon to be talking about them.

1 out of 3 is not most, and this data comes from 2022. I’ve read elsewhere that this number might be around 40-42% now, which is still not most.
